The way any vehicle 'rides' loaded or empty has very little do with the shocks. It has to do with spring rates, type of springs and starting load on them. All a shock does is dampen the oscillations that occur when the suspension articulates.

Monroe's description of them is why I asked.

"Reflex® Truck shock absorbers valving technology automatically adjusts the shock to absorb the impact, leaving the shock with greater control for improved handling, safety, and comfort."

Just remember that what the company boasts about their product may be just so much "smoke and mirrors". That kind of product description may fall under the category of advertising hyperbole.

I put Monroe Reflex shocks on Peggy's Ford Sport Trac, and they work like they are supposed to. I put Bilstein shocks on the Dodge we use to pull the 5th wheel.
